Product Usage Instructions

Planning – Important Considerations

1. Plan for future expansion.
2. Consider existing hardware for retrofitting to save costs.
3. Develop a key control policy and stick to it to avoid vulnerabilities.
4. Develop a key management and control plan before installation.
5. Understand your needs from the new key system – auditing capabilities, security levels required.
6. Take inventory of all openings.

Implementing Your New Key System

1. Discovery: Deepen your design understanding through collaborative discussions.
2. Design:
   • Survey openings.
   • Design master key system.
   • Consider customization options.
   • Create a detailed project plan.
3. Development:
   • Define key control policies.
   • Select key system management tools.
   • Outline a communications plan.
4. Deployment:
   • Order with appropriate documents.
   • Review keying schedule.
   • Create installation plan.
   • Evaluate installation quality.
5. Dialogue: Review the process, discuss future plans, and strengthen relationships.

Pro Tips

1. Rekey compromised openings first.
2. Prioritize perimeter openings, then work inwards.
3. Start by rekeying mechanical overrides on EAC for momentum.

Medeco Key Cylinders

The Medeco 4 cylinders are designed to provide the highest level of security possible. M4 cylinders are UL 437 listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do I know if my key system needs to be upgraded?
  • A: If you answered ‘NO’ to five or more of the self-evaluation questions provided, your key system may need an upgrade.
• Q: What are the emerging threats to key systems?
  • A: Emerging threats include unauthorized key duplication through 3D printing, convenience kiosks for easy key copying, and cell phone apps that can replicate keys from images.

Why has your key system failed

There are various reasons a key system can fail. Here are some of the most common culprits:

1. Patents expire, leaving system exposed
2. Unaccounted for duplicate keys
3. Lost and stolen keys
4. Multiple, uncontrolled systems
5. Poor management of key issuance and retrieval
6. Neglected key records
7. Failure to have proper key policies
8. Failure to adhere to proper key policies

Emerging threats

1. 3D Printing – allows for unauthorized key duplication using only photos or drawings. Innovation in key design and manufacture helps ward off threats from 3D printing.
2. Convenience Kiosks – unmanned machines can be found in grocery stores, supercenters, hardware stores. Anyone with a key can make a copy.
3. Cell Phones – Using an app, simply take a picture of a key, which allows for a 3D printing of the key.

Challenges You might face

• Support of administration/leadership
• Time, people power, money
• Buy-in from possibly thousands of users
• Balance of security vs. convenience
• Not anticipating the unexpected
• Not knowing where/how to start the transition
• Lack of subject matter experts to guide the process

Addressing these challenges before you even get started will make the key system conversion much easier from the start. Medeco has experts who are trained to help at every step of the process.

planning – important considerations

1. Be sure to plan for future expansion
2. Consider the existing hardware. Retrofitting into existing hardware saves money
3. Develop a key control policy, stick with the policy or you’ll end up in the same vulnerable position
4. Do not wait until the new key system is installed to develop a key management and control plan
5. Understand from the start what you want out of the new key system. Do you need auditing capabilities? Do all or some openings require high security?
6. Take inventory of your openings

Implementing your new key system

Discovery – Design – Development – Deployment – Dialogue

1. Discovery – You must deepen your understanding of your design needs through collaborative discussions.
2. Design – Put pen to paper to: 1. undertake a survey of openings; 2. design the master key system; 3. consider key system customization options; 4. devise a detailed project plan to get the work done.
3. Development – This includes defining key control policies, selecting the tools we will use to manage the key system, and outlining a communications plan.
4. Deployment – Order with all appropriate documents, reviewing keying schedule, devise installation plan, evaluate quality of installation.
5. Dialogue – Review the process, discuss future plans, strengthen the relationship.

• Medeco CLIQ merges the features of electronic technology (auditing) with a mechanical key blade – all in a retrofit cylinder.
• Available in SFIC, XT adds security, regulatory compliance, and accountability to practically every opening in a fast, efficient way.
• Medeco 4 cylinders are designed to help give every opening the highest level of security as possible. M4 cylinders are UL 437 listed.
• X4 is the most economic and efficient solution for a new key system and has one of the largest master key capabilities on the market.
• An electronic key system, eCLIQ offers strong security and AES encryption and needs no wiring to the opening. It offers a lifetime battery

Pro Tips

1. Make compromised openings your rekeying priority
2. Address perimeter openings first, then work your way in
3. Gain momentum by rekeying mechanical overrides on EAC
